They came and killed They climbed up and settled permanently.
They came and killed. They climbed up and settled permanently.
They came.
First, they dropped food parcels from the air.
Then they came with guns and tanks.
We believed that our saviors were coming.
Suddenly they shot at the hospital. They shot at the press office. They shot around the town.
When asked why, they said, “We are peacekeepers. We are maintaining peace.”
In their peacekeeping efforts, we lost the lives of 12,000 Tamils.
800 women were raped. And we lost property worth crores of rupees.
Thankfully, they returned within two years. It is scary to think what would have happened.
But they came back again. This time claiming to be “removing terrorism” and came with Mahinda Rajapaksa.
We also stood worthlessly by when the say that they were destroying the Tigers. But we are only now realizing that they destroyed the Tigers for their own occupation.
We are only now realizing the meaning of the Rajapaksa’s statement that they fought for India.
Those who invaded African countries brought Christianity along with their guns.
That is why a poet wrote, “Before they came, the country was in our hands, the Bible was in their hands. Now the Bible is in our hands, and they have our country in their hands.”
The same story has also happened in our country. But we don’t have a poet to write this.
This time they have brought Hinduism and Hindi.
Now we are holding an international Hindu conference in Kilinochchi and studying Hindi at the Yarlpanam Hindu College.
We have lost the Kankesanthurai port and its cement factory.
We lost the Palali Airport and the Trincomalee port.
The 500 acres of land in Sampur are gone along with the thermal power plant.
The Pulmottai mineral is gone and the oil resources in Mannar are gone.
If you ask what is the justice of this?
Don’t worry, I will install 20 Gandhi statues all over the North and East, says the Indian Ambassador to Yarlpanam, laughing.
The Indian Ambassador is a little better because what if he had said that he was going to install 20 Rajiv Gandhi statues?
But there is nothing surprising in this. Because there will still be few people among us who would write that if Rajiv Gandhi had been here, he would have achieved Eelam to us.
